Mac, Mark's off shooting a TV show at the moment. But as far as chrome goes, i think we're just waiting for more to come in. Spyders were a hotter product in other colors, so less chrome was ordered in the first place.

PS: Black is now in stock.

A buddy of mine is waiting on a response from Mark.
He wants the exact same wheel size as zepellin for his IROC.

Zeppelin did you have to do any special work to get the Z06 brakes up front or was it a simple bolt up with these wheels?

OEWheels will be coming out with these later this year to early next year. There sizes and colors will be more than what is currently offered.

^ That's good to know. I'm not a fan of 19s, but may have settled because of the options. I may hold out and buy a set for my 95.

6LE and ebay has just about every finish and size other than 18x10.5. You can get 17x9.5, 18x8.5, 18x9.5, 19x10 in chrome, gloss black or the grey. The only plus side I see from OEWheels is that they will probably be cheaper than whats out there now.

damn! i might hold out if they make some 18x10.5 or 11....19 in tires are expensive! especially in the rear! lol

I was just about to buy a set of 18x9.5's for all four from 6LE. I talked to OE Wheels before this and they told me they had no plans to make them. Then a few months ago i asked again and apparently they had more interest and they said it was on the drawing board. So if this doesnt go through. then Mark will get even more of my $$!!!!

Oh I hear you man. I would buy OEWheels in a heartbeat as Ive owned a set of their wheels in the past. I just dont think I can wait until what would probably be March of next year if their still on the drawing board. Ive watched the 18x9.5 C5 DD get delayed time after time. Some of us are impatient..

I like these wheels much better on a TA than the Camaros.

^ I like them on Camaros more. I think they're a more modern version of the SS 10 spokes.

I had to cut off the original caliper mounting ears, and add a caliper adapter bracket and new brake lines for the Z06 calipers. I also had to add a 3/4" spacer and longer studs to get the wheels to clear the calipers.

Damn I was hoping it was an easy bolt up with the spyders.

Zeppelin

Ya know, I may have only used a 1/2" spacer on the fronts. I'll have to measure it again.

Its not the rims, its getting the calipers to sit correctly for the big rotors. You have to cut the spindles and use the adapter bracket no matter what rim you would run.

Ur front 18x9.5s are what +56mm? I was browsing the sticky last night on the CTS-V install and it said if you run a rim with an offset less than +41mm it will work without spacers. The spyders you can get a 18x9.5 in +40mm. Sorry for all the questions sir but you made my dreams come true on ur car.
